Heading into her junior season, Alex Wittinger has already had quite the career for the Illini. In her two years on the court, the Delano, Minn., native has racked up 124 blocks and climbed to the No. 6 spot on Illinois' all-time career blocks list. She carded 74 rejections last season to rank second all-time at Illinois and led the Big Ten with her 2.6 blocked shots per game. 

Wittinger became just the eighth player in Illinois history to record 100 career blocks on Thursday, Jan. 26, and also set a new single-game record with her eight rejections against Wright State.

Wittinger was Illinois' leading scorer last season, averaging 14.4 points per game, and grabbing 8.7 rebounds.
